<p>Loud cheers erupted in the arena when Clark made the second shot. The Iowa Hawkeyes went on to win the contest by a 93-83 score.</p>
<p>Clark, an Iowa native, is a guard for the Hawkeyes in her fourth season. Her accomplishment on Sunday was met with widespread praise, including from high-profile politicians from her home state.</p>
<p>&#8220;History is made! Congrats to all-time leading scorer [Caitlin Clark],&#8221; Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) <a href="https://twitter.com/SenJoniErnst/status/1764376286288318846" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a post on X.</p>

<p>Maravich participated in college hoops at a time <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Sports/iowas-caitlin-clark-passes-pete-maravich-scoring-record/story?id=107758001" target="_blank" rel="noopener">before freshman eligibility</a> for varsity teams. And though Maravich was known to be <a href="https://www.nba.com/news/history-nba-legend-pete-maravich" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a long-range bomber</a>, he played while limited to two-point shots.</p>
<p>Sports Illustrated <a href="https://www.si.com/college/2020/04/02/ncaa-introduces-three-point-line-this-day-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> the NCAA did not universally adopt the three-pointer until 1986. Maravich died from a heart attack in 1988 at the age of 40 following 10 years in the NBA, where he first got a chance to play with a three-point shot toward the end of his career, <a href="https://www.nba.com/news/history-nba-legend-pete-maravich" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA.com noted</a>.</p>
<p>Last week, Clark broke the record for the most points scored in major women&#8217;s college basketball, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/29/sport/caitlin-clark-lynette-woodard-record-spt/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">beating the 3,649 mark</a> set by Lynette Woodard when she played for Kansas from 1977 to 1981.</p>

<p>In the meantime, the Hawkeyes are gearing up for another March Madness tournament after being <a href="https://www.ncaa.com/live-updates/basketball-women/d1/live-updates-no-2-iowa-vs-no-3-lsu-national-championship-game" target="_blank" rel="noopener">defeated</a> by LSU in the championship game in last year&#8217;s contest.</p>
